Answer, see where you were off, and read what technique was used on you. Propaganda does not announce itself. It arrives as a normal sentence in a normal feed, and it works precisely because it does not look like an argument. This app trains the one skill that survives it: noticing. HOW IT WORKS Every card is a short message. You are asked one question about it — is this propaganda, which technique is used, which emotion is being targeted, what is the goal. You answer, and the right option lights up green while the wrong ones turn red. Then the card opens up. WHAT EVERY CARD EXPLAINS Level — which of the four skills this card tested. Emotion — which feeling the message aims at: fear, nostalgia, pride, shame, hatred. Framing — the actual device: false dilemma, whataboutism, group demonization, appeal to authority, golden past, and 17 more. Explanation — why it works on people who are not stupid. ROUNDS AND YOUR PROFILE The deck is split into rounds of ten cards. After each one you get your accuracy for that round and a star for the deck. Your answers build a cognitive profile across four dimensions — propaganda recognition, manipulation technique, emotional trigger, and goal — so you can see which layer you read well and which one slips past you. FOUR DIFFICULTY LEVELS Cards build up gradually. Early ones are blunt. Later ones are the kind you would scroll past without a second thought. THREE LANGUAGES English, Ukrainian and Russian — interface and every card. Switch inside the app, independent of your system language. PRIVACY No account. No backend. No analytics, no tracking, no data collection of any kind. Your progress stays on your device. The app works offline. PREMIUM One-time purchase, no subscription. Unlocks the full deck across all difficulty levels, the complete cognitive profile and detailed analytics by category. ## Version history (last 5 releases) ### 1.0.6 — 2026-09-04 Rounds. The deck is now split into rounds of ten cards, so you always see how far you are — and you get a result after every round, not only at the end. Instant feedback. When you answer, the right option lights up green and the wrong ones turn red. You see where you were off before the explanation appears. A full breakdown on every card. Each answer now opens Level, Emotion, Framing and Explanation — which feeling the message targets, which technique it uses, and why it works. Choose your language in the app. English, Ukrainian and Russian, independent of your system language.
